[SOLVED] I9 9900k 5ghz with a hyper 212 evo

[Coolbrandonr]

So I managed a stable all cores 5ghz overclock at 1.325vcore with my i9 9900k. My cpu never went above 75c during 4 hours of MW warzone. From what I gathered, the 212 evo is working way out of its pay grade, did I just get lucky or am I doing something wrong? Nothing crashes, everything performs well over stock speeds, and my ram is clocked at 3400mhz.

Nothing to worry about if your temps running fine with the cheap cooler and without any crashes but would becareful and keep checking temps because i would not even trust anything under $50 cooling an i9 9900k

Its warm, but not dangerously warm. COD is not exactly a stresstest, but if this resembles your typical max load I'd say its ok. Will most likely catch fire under prime95 or Folding@home though.

If I would spent an obscene amount of money for a 9900k I would get a better cooler though.

In what resolution do you play CoD Warzone?

Invalid. Unless you tested stability through the proper channels - Prime95, Cinebench R20, Aida64, etc. - then that's not confirmed stable.

The Hyper 212 is way underspecced for that cpu.
What you did wrong is your method of testing stability.

Yeah, I forgot to mention I ran cinebench R20 to test the stability too

Yeah I plan on getting a closed loop water cooler, I just wanted to make sure It was okay to use the evo till then.

1440p Max Settings

How long, and what motherboard?

What is the make/model of your case?
The only aio coolers that are more effective than a top air cooler will be a 360, and that comes with some mounting questions.

I think you are doing quite well with your hyper 212.
I think you scored a well binned chip.
If the processor detects a dangerous temperature, it will throttle or shut down.
That is around 100c.
You actually may be throttling now undetected.
A noctua NH-D15 or NH-D15s would be an effective upgrade.
